The Art of Happiness is the pioneering book of the happiness and personal development genre and remains the cornerstone of the field of positive psychology and practical self-help.
Through conversations, stories, and meditations, the Dalai Lama shows us how to defeat day-to-day anxiety, insecurity, anger, and discouragement.
